The state, in the exercise of its general power to prescribe rules of evidence, may provide that proof of a particular fact, or of several facts taken collectively, shall be prima facie evidence of another fact when there is some rational connection between the fact proved and the ultimate fact presumed. The legislative presumption is invalid when it is entirely arbitrary, or creates an invidious discrimination, or operates to deprive a party of a reasonable opportunity to present the pertinent facts in his defense.

18.2018, Jane Forsey, On Taste: Aesthetic Exchanges, page viii:
If taste is, in Sibleyan terms, an ability involving perceptiveness, sensitivity, discrimination and appreciation, this suggests that it should be directed towards a certain set of objects, and that there is clear room for error and critical debate: about which objects—and which responses—are in fact correct, and which provide evidence of the presence of tasteful discrimination.
19.2019, Rick South, The Odes of God:
Among those who are purified by their good deeds, there are four kinds of men who worship me: the world-weary, the seeker for knowledge, the seeker for happiness and the man of spiritual discrimination. The man of discrimination is the highest of these.

21.1775, Samuel Johnson, A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland - Volume 1, page 239:
He who has not made the experiment, or who is not accustomed to require rigorous accuracy from himself, will scarcely believe how much a few hours take from certainty of knowledge, and distinctness of imagery; how the succession of objects will be broken, how separate parts will be confused, and how many particular features and discriminations will be compressed and conglobated into one gross and general idea.

But even if this difference should be still greater, it could never be admitted as forming a specific distinction.

These seem to me their most obvious and striking causes, and certainly sufficient to distinguish them from each other: but let the most acute metaphysician, place in one point of view whatever may, in any way, mark the nice boundaries which separate them from each other, and then let his discriminations be compared, for clear, and strongly marked difference and opposition, with those I have stated to exist between the beautiful, and the picturesque; and if his discriminations are not more clear, and more strongly marked, but on the contrary much less so, why should they have a power, which is denied to mine?
24.1800, Marcus Terentius Varro, The Three Books of M. Terentius Varro Concerning Agriculture, page 50:
The great discriminations of land are three, and it concerns us to know whether it is poor, or rich, or in a middle state.

2.1978, Paul A[llen] Walker, “The Role of Antiandrogens in the Treatment of Sex Offenders”, in C. Brandon Qualls, John P. Wincze, and David H. Barlow, editors, The Prevention of Sexual Disorders: Issues and Approaches (Perspectives in Sexuality), New York, N.Y.: Plenum Press, →ISBN, page 127; reprinted New York, N.Y.: Springer Science+Business Media, 2013, DOI:10.1007/978-1-4684-2469-0, →ISBN, page 127:
One patient, a pedophile with a long history of arrests, penal incarceration, psychiatric admissions, and outpatient psychotherapy, commented that in the past when he saw a juvenile male playing, he (the patient) would without hesitation approach the boy and make a sexual proposition. When he was on MPA [medroxyprogesterone acetate] therapy, he stated that, at worst, when he saw such a juvenile, he only smiled "with appreciation" for the boy's good looks and otherwise kept about his business.
3.A person younger than the age of majority; a minor.
Synonyms: (dated) infant, (colloquial) juvie
4.2005, Markus Zusak, “The Kiss (a Childhood Decision Maker)”, in The Book Thief, Sydney, N.S.W.: Picador, →ISBN; republished New York, N.Y.: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013, →ISBN, page 49:
Every childhood seems to have exactly such a juvenile in its midst and mists. He's the boy who refuses to fear the opposite sex, purely because everyone else embraces that particular fear, and he's the type who is unafraid to make a decision.
5.(criminal law) A person younger than the age of full criminal responsibility, such that the person either cannot be held criminally liable or is subject to less severe forms of punishment.
6.2010, Richard Lawrence; Mario Hesse, “The Juvenile Court Process”, in Juvenile Justice: The Essentials, Thousand Oaks, Calif.: SAGE Publications, →ISBN, page 192:
If the juvenile violates the conditions of the stayed sentence, typically by committing a new offense, the court may revoke the stay and require that the offender be taken into custody. The juvenile is then given written notice of the reasons for the revocation of the stayed sentence, and may have a hearing with representation of legal counsel if the revocation is challenged.
7.(literature) A publication for young adult readers.
8.1958, The Author and Journalist, volume 42–43, Denver, Colo.: H. Ellithrope, OCLC 8701031, page lxxxiv, column 1:
Formerly a publisher of juveniles, out of the market till 1959, when it will enter adult fiction field.
9.(theater) An actor playing a child's role.
10.1875 February 6, “Drama. [Haymarket.]”, in The Athenæum: Journal of English and Foreign Literature, Science, the Fine Arts, Music and the Drama, number 2467, London: Printed by E[dward] J. Francis & Co., […] published […] by John Francis. [...], OCLC 956082422, page 201, column 3:
'Home,' as, following his habit of giving monosyllable titles to his pieces, T[homas] W[illiam] Robertson christened his version of 'L'Aventurière,' has been revived. […] In a juvenile part, Mr. Lytton Sothern made a successful début.
11.(zoology) A sexually immature animal.
12.2002, Charles H. Janson; Carel P[hilippus] Van Schaik, “Ecological Risk Aversion in Juvenile Primates: Slow and Steady Wins the Race”, in Michael E. Pereira and Lynn A. Fairbanks, editors, Juvenile Primates: Life History, Development, and Behavior, Chicago, Ill.; London: University of Chicago Press, →ISBN, page 65, column 1:
Even if juveniles acquire sex-specific adult-like foraging skills before reaching adult size, their smaller body size may put them at a foraging disadvantage. […] The size effect on foraging is reduced in species that use small or easily manipulated substrates. For instance, in Costa Rican squirrel monkeys, juveniles apparently mastered techniques for insect foraging only a few months after weaning, when they were still much smaller than adults […].
13.A two-year-old racehorse.
14.1972, Edward Samuel Montgomery, The Thoroughbred (page 449)
Even more incredible is the legion of two-year-olds who win handsomely as juveniles and then disappear from the racetrack.
15.2005, Ken McLean, Designing Speed in the Racehorse (page 206)
Professional trainers foster young horses with obvious potential. Instance the way Sir Michael Stoute uses patience to bring along his two-year-old colts and fillies at Newmarket, or the careful approach taken with juveniles by that wonderful conditioner Charlie Whittingham in California.
16.2012, Encyclopedia of British Horse Racing (page 6)
Thereafter, males aged two to four are colts, females are fillies, racing two-year-olds are sometimes referred to as juveniles, and animals still running at five, the age of thoroughbred maturity, or older, are horses or mares according to gender.

PoV
[[English]]
[Noun]

2.2015, Antonio Manuel Liz Gutiérrez; Margarita Vázquez Campos, “Temporal Aspects of Points of View”, in Temporal Points of View: Subjective and Objective Aspects, Springer International Publishing Switzerland, →ISBN, pages 131–132:
We are going to define the notion of temporal points of view (TPoV). But we need the help of a conception of points of view (PoV) according to which any point of view can be seen as having the following canonical structure: […] Temporal Points of View (TPoV) are PoV with explicit contents EC*, either non-CC or CC, identifying certain differences in some explicit non-CC, let us call them EC, as changes in time, or permanencies in time, with respect to distinct positions in an A-series (past, present and future).
3.2016, Ian Wood, Seasoning:
Unfortunately from their PoV, the bottom line was Mags’s and hers alone.

On the other hand, as Hautamäki points out, “a PoV selects a set of possible worlds, namely, those worlds which have a structure or features presupposed by the PoV. In these worlds, the PoV is satisfied” (Hautamäki 1983b: 226).
5.2020, Neerja Singh, quoting Aqseer Sodhi, No Time to Be Young: 30 Insights into Generational Empathy from the Seenager, Senior Teenager, Notion Press, →ISBN:
